can someone explain how to either use Tineye or cut & paste a photo from say Eros to google search?

Searching the persons name, phone #, email & website if they have one what I start with

It's certainly nice that Eros has added Authenticated Section. Not going to look at ever ad one by one but from the looks of it I'd imagine that many of the ads listed on Eros for SF are legit

I've only been using Google image search because personally to me it's the better of the two
images.google.com or www.google.com/imghp

If you look at the TinEye or Google image search page one thing you can do is upload an image, and search a picture you have saved on your computer. Getting a picture from the web to store offline can usually be done by right-clicking "save image as"
When you right-click on a picture there is also "copy image URL" copying the URL of the image (not the URL of the webpage/website)

Using a PC one of the keyboard commands:
Control+A highlights the whole page. Likewise you can also left-click hold then drag over to highlight a portion of a webpage you would like copy. You can copy by either right-clicking & then click "copy" or going to the menu of the web browser, going to edit tab then clicking "copy

Quickest & simplest step is also noted by Google & TinEye  
Quoting Google: “Tip: Try dragging an image into the search box from your desktop or the web.”
Quoting TinEye: “Drag & Drop: Drag any image file and drop it anywhere on this page.”
So I can take a picture I have saved on a computer just click hold & drag it to Google image search box. Likewise on a website I can also click hold then drag a picture to the search box

It is possible that all of these methods will not work for a website. However the majority of the time that's not the case  

There's one more final thing that I do to get an image that I'm not going to get into but if you've ever seen a keyboard button like PrtSc, it's the same concept but slightly more direct & to the point

Ultimately just because you can search the image doesn't mean you'll get any results  

Also it's one thing to have a picture for your personal reference or to help you remember something but something else if someone was just going to upload someone else's pictures on the web for no real reason, or worst try to pretend to be that person.
So it is nice that watermarks can be added to a photo
